"My dear President Thomas, I should like to make application for the room 35 in Pembroke East. I feel that I am justified in doing so, as it would be an effort if it would be possible at all for me to come back next year without my occupying a room of less than ordinary value. I am able to give particulars regarding my financial condition and shall be glad to withdraw my claims to special consideration if I am found to be in less need than others."
